GUILTY - : H >■ a r S •****> 1 k Ks /h JOHN T. SCOPES Dayton,Tenn.—In a swift sucession of dramatic incidents, sad, humorous and thoughtful, the Tennessee evolution trial ended Tuesday, July 21. with the conviction of John T. Scopes. He | was fined 100 for having taught that man descended from a lower form of life William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow predicted new currents of world thought spreading out from Dayton to unknown shores of human action as a result of the trial. Two indestructible forces met here. Judge John T. Raulston pointed out in his closing address. These were the "passion for truth" and the “World of Cod." He said that the Word of God as revealed in the Bible would never lierilh. Mr. Bryan's kingdom remains intact, though narrowed, perhaps. Despite all efforts, science has been I allied with agnosticism, as an attack I on the Bible, an effort to destfoy the ' Chlrstian church.

MORE ARRESTS MADE i State Motor Police Much More Active In Indiana Since Given More Power By New Law. By Robert Early, (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Indianapolis, July 25.— Arrests by state motor police during the first six months of 1925-Increased more than 'eight fold over arrests for the same period last year. This was revealed today In figures compiled by Robert Humes, head of the state motor police. Humes said that 380 arrests were made from the first of January to the last of June in 1924. During the first six months this year the arrests numbered 3,174. “The tremendous increase in number of arrests is due to the new law governing powers of the motor police," Humes said. "14tst year the power of the police was very limited.. They could only arrest persons driving without licenses or registration cards or aid in the recovering of stolen automobiles. "Under the new law we can arrest speeders and other open violators of the state motor laws." Humes pointed out that the increased work of the police is carried on with practically no additional expense to the state. “Last year we had forty men on the force. This year we have fortythree. The three new men were absolutely necessary. There has been no attempt to bulge the payroll of the department by adding a lot of help. “Each man is given a definite route to patrol along one of the man highways of the state. The number of miles depends on the condition of the road and the amount of traffic on the road. “He must cover every mile of his ‘beat’ every day and help keep the roads of Indiana safe.” i Licenses of seven habitually recki less drivers have been revoked by 1 tecommendation of the police, Humes said. 1 * s_fl 0 HEAT AND LIGHTNING One of the stereotyped statements • on the text-books is that lightning is i made visible by the "heating of the • air,” just as the fiilament of an incandescent lamp is made to glow when ■ an electric current passes through it.
